Review: Armed & Dangerous

Ty disappeared after Zane professed his love. How COULD Ty do this to Zane? Pauvre Zane; il est désolé. Ty is sent off on another bloody black ops for their director, Richard Burns. With in days of Ty being sent off, Zane receives the call to fly out to Chicago as back up for a mission. Surprise, it's Ty he's backing up.

The reunited lovers FINALLY have a tender moment together. I sighed with pleasure when they finally talk. The compass charm I'm so fixated upon is finally revealed. Is this my happily ever after? NO Zane and Ty are now on a dangerous assignment to retrieve an unwilling and dangerous asset to bring back to DC. The asset is Julian Cross who is in another book by Ms. Roux. We meet Julian again and he's just as deadly as before. Cameron, Julian's lover boy, is still sweet and innocent.

This story is a wild ride. I was a bit afraid it would not live up to my expectations since the author duo is now a solo. I'm very happy to report, this is not the case. Ms. Roux writes a high speed romantic suspense story. The journey to DC with Julian and Cameron in tow is like a duck duck goose game. The smart writing with how Julian tries to escape as well as Ty and Zane trying to stay ahead of the people after them is thrilling. It's believable and very humourous.

We are also treated to the pink elephant in Ty and Zane's relationship - Nick's kiss. Nick is a good guy. The more we learn about Nick and Ty's background together, the more we see how amazing these retired military soldiers are. My heart hurts to hear how Ty and Nick suffered as POW. It also explains Ty's behaviour and hang ups.

Ms. Roux's writing style is very appealing. What I like most about it, is her witty references. The way her brain connects concepts for the characters work so well for me. The coconut reference with Monty Python totally made sense. The comparison for animals - shark versus lion was clever and on point. The snarky dialog between the characters pull me into the story. I'm engaged and love the characters. Not one of them is perfect, but they are perfect for each other. We see Ty and Zane tightening their bond. We see sacrifice by friends for loyalty. Preston and Julian go back a long way and the sacrifice in the story moved me. Lastly, the good guy versus the bad guy theme in this story was phenomenal. The ending was anticipated which I figured it out in the beginning of the story and hoped I was dead wrong. There are times when I hate when I'm right. This was one of them. This fast paced m/m romantic suspense story is recommended to readers who enjoy a blurring of black and white. Who is right and who is wrong? It all depends on perspective.

What is chemical play? Is it acids that are used to burn body parts?
No. It's using different types of substances to illicit sensation on
the skin and perhaps in the body. Generally the substances are in liquid
form for easy application. I'm going to go through only the ones I've
used. I am sure there are more. Hopefully others will be happy to
share their experiences. As usual, I'm going to use the terms Top and
bottom for the person applying the person receiving, respectively.

Safety first

With chemical play, while there is a lessor possibility of harm, it
still exists. There can be adverse reactions. It could be a person is
allergic to the chemical. It is important to ask about any allergies
the bottom may have.

Another thing to be concerned with
chemical play is where it contacts. There are some things which can
burn and temporarily damage delicate mucus membranes. Not everyone's
body reacts the same to chemicals so it is…

What?How can stapling be sexy?Who
wants to be stapled?How on earth did
these BDSM deviants pervert a stapler?
Are these the thoughts running through your
head?They were the thoughts running
through my head.The only time I've seen
stapling done on a person is on the Jackass
Movie.There doesn't seem to
be a clip of it on Youtube.However,
Steve-O from Jackass did do it again with a regular stapler here.
The stapler I'm referring to is NOT a regular
office stapler or a staple gun found at a hardware store.Could you use those?Yes.Is it advisable?No.Instead, we are going to learn about surgical
staple guns.There are a couple of
different brands.
The focus of this topic is where you can
staple and how you can mix it up in your scene. Safety
Yes, it's safety time again!It's boring but mandatory.
First, stapling does cause a break in the
skin.Depending on the person and
sometimes even the time of the month, a person may or ma…

What is a sensual sadist? How does this work? Doesn't a sadist only
give pain? I've read in some books which argue there is no such thing
as a sensual sadist and they don't like that phrase at all.

I
have had the pleasure of attending a class from a self titled, Sensual
Sadist. Here are my notes from the class. Any mistakes are due to me
as a note taker, not the presenter.

The presenter in the class
was Haven. He's a second generation Dom. His parents are in the
lifestyle and lived it as he was growing up in the household.

Haven
was an extremely dynamic presenter who kept the class captivated. He
was well spoken and based on his work at Renaissance Faires, I'm not
surprised. Haven is on fetlife. He also has a blog which he adds to
here and there - Kinky as I am.

What does it mean to be a sensual sadist?

For Haven, it means two parts.

1. More senses than just touch. Toys can be used to caress or cause pain.
